Description
Starting from the Place de l'Europe, this itinerary brings you to the very panoramic and picturesque Croix de Toulouse.
Steep climb on a small road up to Poet Ollagnier.
The ascent gets a lot of sun, it can get really hot in the summer.
The descent is on a beautiful single track, a bit technical but never extreme, demanding full attention at times.
A couple of very tight switchbacks add to the fun.
One of these switchbacks has a drop.
Lots of hikers on the descent trail.
Start early or late to avoid the crowds.
